Bill - Grab a Polaroid Sprint Scan 4000 - at the current price, they might
as well be free. Yes, Polaroid is in one of the Chapters, but so what? In
the first place, it's a pretty safe bet that someone will pick up the
various hunks of the business. In the second, it's highly unlikely you're
ever going to need Polaroid's help. But even if you do, for the price you'll
pay now for this terrific scanner - under $600 - by the time you do have
trouble, if you ever have trouble, you will have paid for it several times
over.

Are you intending to scan negs or prints? Formats?

I have, use and love the Epson 1200...it ain't fancy, but it gets my work
done. It has a transparency adapter which I don't use...I scan prints only.

Worth a look.............

: No doubt there is plenty of information about this stored
: in the archives...
:
: BUT...
:
: Because I am a new member to the LUG, I beg your patience.
:
: In mid-April I plan to buy a 35mm scanner. (PAWless until
: then) I am seeking advice. I cannot afford the $8,000 Nikon
: scanner used by the local paper.
:
: I hear contradictory information. Some brands of scanners
: are excellent but are hampered by the software. I hear good
: reports about the Polaroid but the company just declared
: bankruptcy. Others say the new Acer is the way to go.
:
: The bottom line is that I don't want to make some terrible
: mistake and then have fellow LUGgers say, "Gee, if you'd
: only bought this model..."
:
: Suggestions and comments?
:
: Thanks in advance--
